Clowney along with many other players and fans were affected by the heat. Some athletes have a much harder time staying hydrated and regulating their body temperature.

Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:58:04 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314069#comment-139119It was the first game of the season a heat index of 100 and Clowney was coming off a stomach virus that he was getting treatment for the night before ….and he still showed up… there exist no stat line to accurately display the true impact he had on the game…not only did he have to face double and triple teams they ran plays away from his side most of the time…UNC could only run a bunch of bootlegs and run delays just so they could account for him … Some people don’t understand just because you didn’t kill it in the stat line as a DEFENSIVE LINEMAN you all of a sudden suck and have no impact unless you see multiple sacks and stops …. Dude is legit that’s all to it…those who hire fire and coach these players know what he can mean to a defense..haters (Jesse Palmer) profess your ignorance when you utter dribble like a new born baby incoherent and ultimately useless

Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:47:41 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314069#comment-139117Tobeexsact your comment is beyond ignorant. First if all clowney is not a senior so your very first statement is inaccurate. Second as a earlier commenter acknowledged clowney was very disruptive to the offense all game even with the fact that nc almost never ran to his side of the field. Third, just a little bit of education for you a defensive ends job is not just about sacking the quarterback you do understand that right? Sometimes they are in coverage in the flats other times they are anticipating a run and therefore do not try to immediately busy thru the line or they run the risk of taking a bad angle and or over pursuing and missing the play completely. If you want to trash the kid that’s fine but the least you could do is rip him over things that are accurate. As far as him trash talking before the game I think the score board answers that. But your probably a clemson fan anyway that explains the ignorance.

Fri, 30 Aug 2013 14:32:19 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314069#comment-139115I dont get all the hype about clowney at all.
If your a senior player with all his playing time then you should be in the best shape,for the most part he was left one on one against an offensive tackle and couldnt win the battle. He is a defensive end who smack talked before the game and couldnt back it up,if he is suppose to be so great he would have gotten to the qb.
I dont want to here about he got double teamed here or there ,he is a defensive end not like he plays the middle of the d line. All you have to do is look at devon still who was on penn state last year. He played defensive tackle got double and triple teamed in the trenches and still beat it.
Clowney makes a few great plays a game and thats it,if he is as domanant as every claims he would be putting up unreal sack numbers and in the backfield almost every play.
Actually if not for a few blown assignments on nc defense , south carolina really didnt look that good at all for a team that returns alot of starters, even there o line was not that dominant in the second half. They may be big but they are slow and not very athletic. They better get alot better come the sec schedule or they will be losing alot of games.

Braxton Miller has nothing to worry about in the Heisman race.

They kept talking over each other and the viewer could not understand a thing they were saying. You only need two in the booth; one of those ex-jocks needs to stay in the studio.

Fri, 30 Aug 2013 12:30:35 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314069#comment-139097Thank god ESPN had a camera on Clowney to capture every single breath he took and notified us constantly every time his ass hit the bench. Even better, they send some bimbo sideline reporter in to ask The Ole Ball Coach whether resting Clowney was part of his game plan… If I didn’t know any better, I’d think the other 10 people on the defense and everybody else sucked and it was only Clowney that was responsible for winning the game!

Fri, 30 Aug 2013 11:29:15 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314069#comment-139094Clowney is no doubt an elite talent.

That said, hopefully this kills all the foolish heisman talk. He disrupted so many plays last night it wasn’t even funny but no stat exists for that. A full night of playing ball and the stat line is 4 tackles. If you didn’t watch the whole game it looks like he barely showed up. And he’s going to have a lot of games like that this year.

And that late hit should result in a multi game suspension. That was crazy blatant.

Fri, 30 Aug 2013 10:57:24 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314069#comment-139093My friends and I were amazed when we saw a play where UNC literally triple teamed clowney. Yes put three players on him. Still don’t think he changes a game? Someone find the stat on how many times UNC went to clowneys side of the field. I felt like they ran away from him all night. 2 of the tackles I saw he broke through then sprinted across the entire line of scrimmage and made the play from behind.

Not exactly a night to be running around. Here in columbia it really hasn’t been that hot or humid except for these last few days.

Fri, 30 Aug 2013 04:12:54 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314069#comment-139077Really? Clowney had what 1 tackle? He was out of shape and looked horrible. He went full go about 20% of the time. If he was going full go, he wouldn’t have go hurt. If you seriously watch the film and think he is the best around, you are just a homer. Like ESPN. Announcers talked about how great he was, but the left Tackle held him at bay the entire night.

Fri, 30 Aug 2013 04:01:33 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314069#comment-139073South Carolina is an excellent football team and could win the SEC East. Clowney has always been overrated and has several shortcomings such as not being able to wrap offense players up but look for one time showcase hits. Second his matter of endurance and 3 is his inability to learn the playbook. He may be a first pick first round but that is a big mistake for whoever takes him.

Fri, 30 Aug 2013 03:54:20 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314069#comment-139072North Carolina was getting 13 points and according to the play-by-play, got stopped on the one-yard line with a minute left.

How close was it, and why did they run on 4th and goal from the 8?

Fri, 30 Aug 2013 03:46:41 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314069#comment-139070Looks like Clowney was lucky in that the hit basically pushed his feet forward so he just fell on his butt. Had his foot gotten caught up, that could have been ugly.

Fri, 30 Aug 2013 03:46:39 +0000http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=314069#comment-139069Good Gamecock victory and no turnovers. Great beginning to what may be a great year. USC seems to be priming up for UGA, so that may be quite a contest.

What coaches and fans do not want to see–Clowney hurt and he sure could have been hurt with the Holt blindside hit. The ACC should take a look at that.

I don’t think this was a real test of the SEC, but it was a good preparation and a good first game for South Carolina.
